Grandparents don't help or make effort

Are this set of grandparents still working?
They obviously have already got commitments with your niece - are they just weary from child-minding her?

Also, is the niece their daughter's baby? Or son's?
If it's a daughter's child then they may not feel as though they are "imposing".
I am a mother-in-law and very careful as I don't want my daughter-in-law to find me a nuisance. I wouldn't just drop in for example.

Well what does your OH say about it ?

Hello,

I'd like some advice. I had my baby last October. I live 4 hours away from my parents but 5 minutes from in laws. My parents have been so excited about getting a grandchild if a little sad they live so far away but make so much effort to send cards/visit and facetime.
My inlaws however are quite different. They have never offered to help from the beginning. We were in lockdown so this is totally understandable however they weren't very bothered by the rules. They have never really offered to pop round and say hello even just for a cup of tea. I really needed help with my baby in the early days and found it really tough being so far away from my mum. Even now as my baby is getting older they rarely come over and we always have to pop in if we want them to spend time together.
We have a niece and she is always there being looked after.
I often send photos to GM and get no replies. I want my baby to have a good relationship with them but it feels really forced and totally one sided. Am I missing something? Should I be doing something else? Are some people just not interested?

Just one thing - I know that I didn't have a baby to be looked after by other people but there is so little effort made to even spend time I'm just baffled.
